Question

Gametes with either dominant alleles for both genes (AB) or recessive alleles for both genes (a from genetic recombination (crossing over It these genes assort independently, there will be equal number of gametes with AB, aB Ab Question 18 A pair of genes that assorts independently satisfies all of the following, EXCEPT They may be located on different chromosomes They may be located on the same chromosome but far away They have a recombination frequency of 50% inheriting one allele from one gene will oot affect which allele in inherited from the other gene Recombinant gametes wil be more common than parental gametes Question 19 4 5 6

Explanation / Answer

A pair of genes that assorts independently satisfies all the statements except for the statement that the recombinant gametes are more than the parental gametes as the gametes formed are of equal frequency ie. Each gamete will get the alleles randomly.

Option E is correct.
